Great shots everyone!!!
Joshua...wow! Love your series.
Great stuff Phillip, Gregg, Ronnie, Michiel, Rene, Bob, Basso, Derek, Taylor and Jack, and I apologize for those I have missed.
I have been spending more time with PP'ing to understand some of the finer points, so that using the A7s, A7r and A7II do require different workflows. I have been testing different lenses and edge sharpness but do need to focus more on PP'ing as this is as important IMO
Another recent shot re PP'd using a different workflow using Lr/Cs6 and Nik filter set.
Another great page filled with outstanding pictures!
David: Just when I decide to go with the Lux 50 ASPH for my 2nd 50, your Otus captures make me think twice about it... Very nice works. If only they can shrink it to something like the new ZM 35 .
Getting bored so I went out for a quick shoot. The M mountain was lit today. The moon was just above the mountain outside of the frame.
A7s.Mod + ZM 15 @ WO (have never thought of this possible before)

What a change in the following morning! The sun was up, the wind was practically still and the tidal ebbed, exposing the beaten up pieces of ice on the beach. But it was cold nonetheless. Although it didn't look like it but there between 100 and 150 people on the beach, making it really difficult to take picture without including people in your frame, especially using a wide angle lens.
The ice pieces pictured in the morning were actually fairly small but captured at close up distances and low angle, practically on the ground in some cases. The flip screen did come in really handy in this case .These are quite superb Joshua ..and the last one in particular is exactly what I'm, looking for, sunset through the ice.
I'll be PM'ing for tips on some recommended sites / B&B (though I'll be camping most of the time / car hire if you don't mind ?
Cheers
KevinThanks, Kevin! No problem, I will be happy to help. Please, feel free to do so.
Right off the bat, since the weather in Iceland is unpredictable and the chance of getting sunrise/sunset is not that great, and if this location tickles your fancy, you will increase your chance of experiencing the low setting sun by spending more time here. We went 3X to that beach over 2 nights we spent at nearby lodging, which was still 30-40 minute drive away.
Thanks Joshua ! With 17 days I don't mind hanging around in one area for the right conditions (and I think that beach is close to Vik right ? In which case it ties in with the Puffin cliff shots I'm looking for too). Finding a legal spot to throw up the tent will be the challenge I guess.
Ronny...getting some good use out of your new to you lenses!! Awesome!
Rene...love the bw's last page. Very nice!
Charles...incredible portrait with the 50 DR.
And everyone else....like Michiel says, tons of awesome photos from everyone!
Here are a few more M75 Summarit shots

For decades a group of buildings in the centre of Amsterdam were squatted. This created an environment in which street art flourished. So much so, that the corner became somewhat of a tourist attraction. Some days ago the squatters were removed from the buildings. The police had to use considerable force, as the buildings were barricaded and defended using paint bombs etc.. The good news is that the rightful owner can now develop new housing on the location, the bad news is that the creative street art scene will be gone (move elsewhere?).
A7, buildings with Zeiss ZF.2 18/3.5, others with Zeiss ZF.2 35/2.
